Keeping busy

Before Miss M was even a thought I kept myself busy with working out. Andrew always worked/studied later (even on a good night) so working out filled my time so I wasn't sitting on the couch watching mindless television and hanging out by myself.

Miss M came along, and while I am not technically alone I am sitting around a lot and watching plenty of mindless television. I have been into a little bit of everything trying to find something I will enjoy for more than an evening or two.

I got the bike out but that gets boring and painful quickly.







I thought I would make Miss M headbands since I need one for her Christmas dress and reds are hard to match when buying online. They kept me busy but there are only so many headbands I can make.







The headbands required the use of my free sewing machine. When I brought it home there was some doubt I would ever use it.

I feel comfortable making straight lines. And that's about it. So I thought I would make curtains for Florida. And that's what I did tonight. I opened a bottle of wine and made some curtains (well one curtain). They aren't perfect and sadly I am not sure they are long enough but for my first time I think they look pretty darned good.








I needed to display them to see how they looked and the stocking holders worked perfectly. You can see part of my Christmas decorations. I don't have much but our place isn't very big. I did, however, decorate a tree and Miss M likes it. She smiles at it when she sees it. And thankfully she can't crawl so it poses no threat. Yet.









Please note the presents under the tree. They are wrapped. I know people already have all their shopping and wrapping done by October. But I am not one of those people so this is huge for me. Huge!
